Young Montreal Canadiens forward Juraj Slafkovsky is one of those who doesn't exactly hold back when speaking.
The media hasn't talked much about it, but he gave us a pretty entertaining moment during his press conference, live on television, as part of the team's end-of-season review.
That review is often a time to clear the air on lingering issues, and clearly, Slafkovsky had something on his chest.. So he took advantage of this media availability to address a situation involving a well-known reporter.

It's a situation that now seems settled, but take a look at the interesting exchange that took place during Slafkovsky's press conference.
We won't mention the name of the reporter who asked the question, but it sparked quite a bit of chatter a few months ago, so it's easy to find.
"You've said 'you guys' a few times when referring to journalists, so is it annoying for you to talk to us and get asked questions?"
- Reporter
"It depends on what's being asked!
If you ask normal questions, then it's fine, but.. It's part of the job, and I'm getting used to it.. I don't find it annoying."
- Juraj Slafkovsky
"But what's a normal question to you?"
- Reporter
"I remember someone asking me if I would still buy tickets to go to games (if I were a fan), right after we lost two or three in a row. I think that's a weird question.. To ask that to a 20-year-old, when we're still rebuilding or whatever you call it, so.."
